Ana ține ușa deschisă.

Yes. Ține is the 3rd person singular form of a ține, which often means to hold, to keep, or to maintain depending on context.

In Ana ține ușa deschisă, it can be understood literally as:

• Ana holds the door open
• or more generally Ana keeps the door open

So a ține is doing the job that English often expresses with keep in this kind of sentence.

The letter ț is pronounced like ts in cats.

So ține is roughly:

• ț = ts
• i = like ee
• ne = roughly neh

A rough English-style approximation is TSEE-neh, though the Romanian vowels are cleaner and shorter than in English.

Also note:

• ț is a separate letter in Romanian
• it is not the same as plain t

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• ușă = a door
• ușa = the door

This is one of the first big differences English speakers notice in Romanian. The -a here is the feminine singular definite article attached to the noun.

Because deschisă must agree with ușa, and ușa is:

• feminine
• singular
• definite

The adjective therefore takes the feminine singular form:

• masculine singular: deschis
• feminine singular: deschisă

So:

• geamul deschis = the open window
• ușa deschisă = the open door

In this sentence, deschisă describes the state of the door.

It is an adjective, but in this sentence it functions like a resulting state or object complement.

English does the same thing:

• She keeps the door open

Here, open describes the condition of the door, not of she.

Romanian works similarly:

• Ana ține ușa deschisă

So grammatically it is an adjective agreeing with ușa, but semantically it completes the idea of ține by saying in what state Ana keeps the door.

This is the most neutral, standard order:

• Ana = subject
• ține = verb
• ușa = object
• deschisă = adjective describing the object

So it follows a natural Subject + Verb + Object + Complement pattern.

Romanian word order is fairly flexible, so other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Ușa o ține Ana deschisă
• Deschisă ține Ana ușa

But these are more marked and depend on context. For a learner, Ana ține ușa deschisă is the normal pattern to use.

It is present tense, 3rd person singular.

The verb a ține in the present tense goes like this:

• eu țin = I hold / keep
• tu ții = you hold / keep
• el/ea ține = he/she holds / keeps
• noi ținem = we hold / keep
• voi țineți = you all hold / keep
• ei/ele țin = they hold / keep

So Ana ține means Ana holds / keeps.

Yes and no.

Romanian often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows the person:

• Ține ușa deschisă = He/She keeps the door open

But in your sentence, Ana is not a pronoun; it is the actual subject noun. You can omit it only if the context already makes clear who is being talked about.

So:

• Ana ține ușa deschisă = explicitly names Ana
• Ține ușa deschisă = She/He keeps the door open, if context tells us who

Because Romanian usually expresses the by attaching it to the end of the noun.

That means:

• English: the door
• Romanian: ușa

This is called the enclitic definite article. It is a core feature of Romanian grammar.

A few examples:

• băiat = boy, băiatul = the boy
• fată = girl, fata = the girl
• ușă = door, ușa = the door

In this sentence, open is the natural translation.

Although deschis/deschisă comes from the idea of something being opened, in ordinary usage it often simply means open as a state.

So:

• ușa este deschisă = the door is open
• Ana ține ușa deschisă = Ana keeps the door open

English normally would not say keeps the door opened here.

No. It can be physical, but it can also mean keep, maintain, or cause something to stay in a certain state.

For example, depending on context, a ține can mean:

• to hold
• to keep
• to retain
• to support
• to last in some expressions

In Ana ține ușa deschisă, it may mean:

• she is physically holding it open
• or she is keeping it open in a broader sense

Context decides how literal it is.

Yes, but it is not exactly the same in feel.

• Ana ține ușa deschisă is very natural and common.
• Ana păstrează ușa deschisă also means Ana keeps the door open, but păstrează can sound a bit more formal, deliberate, or less physical depending on context.

For an everyday sentence about a door, ține is usually the more idiomatic choice.

Not in a way that looks different from the basic definite form. Here ușa is the direct object of the verb.

Romanian does have case distinctions, but for many feminine nouns, the nominative and accusative forms are identical in shape. So:

• ușa can be subject in one sentence
• ușa can be direct object in another

Its role is understood from the sentence structure.

Here:

• Ana is the subject
• ușa is the object

The basic form you will usually see in vocabulary lists is the masculine singular form:

• deschis = open

From that, other forms are built:

• masculine singular: deschis
• feminine singular: deschisă
• masculine plural: deschiși
• feminine plural: deschise

Since ușa is feminine singular, the sentence uses deschisă.

Yes. The Romanian present tense can cover both ideas, just like the English simple present sometimes can, depending on context.

So Ana ține ușa deschisă may mean:

• a present action in context: Ana is holding/keeping the door open
• a general or habitual fact: Ana keeps the door open

If Romanian wants to stress an ongoing action more explicitly, other structures are possible, but this simple present sentence can already work well in either sense depending on the situation.
